Dear Minister:

In accordance with the provisions of section 250.17(1) of the National Defence Act, it is my honour to submit the year 2000 Annual Report of the Military Police Complaints Commission for tabling in Parliament.

This is the Commission’s first Annual Report covering a complete calendar year of activity. As the Commission was established on December 1, 1999, the previous report covered a period of only one month of activity.

Yours truly,

Louise Cobetto
Chairperson
